AC10:PAX sounds great, if only there was ever one in Canada. Boston is the closest one to me, but I can't afford to drive 14 hours for a 3 day weekend and crazy hotel rates and 12 dollar hotdogs.

I guess I'm kind of surprised they can do a PAX Australia but can't or won't do one in Toronto.I guess they just figure that's serviced by PAX East?

Well they do three Paxes (Paxi?) a year now and it must take a lot of organisation to pull off and they don't want to spend all of their time on Pax when they have a webcomic empire to look after. Plus they already have 2 Pax events in North America, the rest of the world wants Pax-ey goodness too! People in Europe have to travel pretty far to any of them :(

All excellent moments from PAX. Did Lisa go this year? I have to check the News archives. I like the use of Yahtzee's review of Duke Nukem Forever in this one. There should be more crossover stuff with the Escapist video contributors.

templar1138a:Lisa, you may not be a real redhead, but you're definitely a better candidate for Nerd Queen than Felicia Day.

With that, I'm expecting a flame war to erupt in this thread any minute now. I'll sit by the sidelines with popcorn and beer.

Yeah I get that x_x. I thought Mike and Jerry essentially hired people to run PAX (or they let Robert Khoo take care of it). I do think it's a lot of work!

At least in Europe traveling is affordable, a flight to Boston from Toronto in Canada will actually likely cost me 800 - 1000 dollars x_x. This is a Canadian problem with our flight laws though, not an American one.

Care to share the story? You know. When your done with the vomiting and all that.

Thankee, thankee.

I was referring to one of the panels with some PA employees who were asked what their biggest regret was, the answer apparently was choosing to pull that tasteless, disgusting Dickwolves merch they had for sale for a while.

Damn I wish I lived in the US sometimes. Although they did have a PAX in my country (Australia) this year, but I didn't find out about it until too late. I was even in Melbourne a week before it happened too! D:

I can't stand that Wil Wheaton (annoying, subpar actor of a horrible character in a show that got awesome the minute he left) and Felicia Day (actress who gets cast in ten-line geek roles and is the "star" of a webseries) are supposed to be our Geek King and Queen. Jonathon Coulton would make a good Geek King. Gail Simone would make a great Geek Queen. Get some people who have actually been instrumental in creating bastions of geek culture for the roles. I'd even take Joss Whedon...
